File n_add-dummy-xf86DisableRandR.patch of Package xorg-x11-server.16783

Subject: Add dummy xf86DisableRandR.
Patch-mainline: Never
Author: Michal Srb <msrb@suse.com>
References: bnc#1089601

This is temporary fix for breakage after backporting upstream patch
dd00e5466a0e4ea313d1860824da4123692827ed (xorg-server-1.19.0-566-gdd00e5466).

The patch removed function xf86DisableRandR. This patch re-adds it as a dummy function
that does nothing to fix linking with drivers that expect it. Drivers should no longer
call it, so putting it back empty has the same effect.
